Margate Moves: Fund-raiser is a stylish affair

Ethan Christian School started out with 40 pupils and today that number has grown to almost 200. The school, which is currently housed at Norwegian Settlers’ Church, needs more space and has found a farm where the homestead could be converted into classrooms and land transformed into sports fields and playgrounds. To raise funds, the school recently held a black-tie fund-dinner at Margate Hotel.
